To the Editor:Re “Trump Is Indicted Over Classified Files” (front page, June 9):The indictment of Donald Trump heralds a new chapter in American history. He will continue to tell his followers that he has done nothing wrong and that this is all part of a vendetta by the Washington elite. He could be elected and then have a guilty verdict upheld as he is about to be sworn into office. Mr. Trump and the special counsel Jack Smith serve as the protagonists in the first act of a Shakespearean tragedy. The full effects on America of Mr. Smith’s essential action will not be known until the final act.
